On June 1, 2020, TVA will pay $25 for each bond properly returned, plus a quarterly interest payment of $0.221875, reflecting the current annual interest rate of 3.550%.

Beginning with the September 1, 2020, payment, TVA will pay an adjusted quarterly interest payment of $0.133375 per bond based on the new annual interest rate of 2.134%.
